Injury Report: Woodyard doubtful; Seymour out

Douglas LeeDec 5, 2012 4:18 PM

LB Wesley Woodyard is listed as doubtful for tomorrow's game at Oakland, and is likely to be replaced in the starting lineup by D.J. Williams. WR Brandon Stokley is questionable, while five other Broncos are probable.

Woodyard suffered an ankle sprain last week, which forced Williams and Danny Trevathan (21 snaps each) into increased action. The absence of Stokley resulted in more targets for Jacob Tamme, who caught a season-high nine passes against Tampa Bay.

For Oakland, DT Richard Seymour will miss his fifth straight game, while running backs Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson are listed as probable and will return to action after having missed four games each. Nine others are probable and will suit up.

Seymour is one of my least favorite players in the league. I'm actually upset he's not playing, so I can watch him get angry and do something stupid while the Fader's are getting stomped.

Then again, he would probably cheap shot someone and end their season.

And sit who?

Bolden? Nope, he's too important on special teams. Same with Leonard and Bruton.

Actually, I thought we had one of our better passing games in a while. Tamme picked up the "security blanket" role with aplomb.

That said, Stokes is the freakin' man and I vote we rest him until he's 184%.

My guess would be that Porter will play some snaps at Corner this game. It's been awhile since he's been on the field and I think the coaches will try to get him some game reps to see what he's got in case the need to play him due to injury of those in front of him on the depth chart.

Stokley is to the Broncos what he was to the Colts. He is such a threat in the slot that he opens it up for everybody. I dearly hope he's back for the Ravens . . .

So Tracy Porter isn't even listed. Is he going to dress/play?

That absent Manning-Stokley connection was sorely missed during the Bucs game. At least it felt that way to me.

Nobody even listed on the injury report should play for the rest of the month unless their middle initials are MF and please Homie Jesus don't let that happen.

The Broncos have D.J. The Raiders have nothing behind Seymour. Now, isn't that a shame?
